"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do." ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-17

In this episode of the Powerline Podcast, I share my personal journey with acne and how it affected my confidence and self-image. From high school through college, I talk honestly about the struggles I faced, the insecurities I carried, and what it was like trying to feel confident while dealing with breakouts.

I reflect on what actually helped me along the way, including learning to give myself grace, remembering that acne is just a part of being human, and accepting that it’s okay to struggle. I also share practical things that helped me manage acne, along with the role my faith played in reshaping how I view myself. This episode is for anyone who’s navigating acne, self-acceptance, or learning how to show up confidently even when it’s hard!!!

1 Samuel 16:7 "But the Lord said to Samuel, 'Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
